Artificial Immune Privileged Sites as an Enhancement to Immuno-Computing Paradigm [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 The immune system is a highly parallel and distributed intelligent system which has learning, memory, and associative capabilities. Artificial Immune System is an evolutionary paradigm inspired by the biological aspects of the immune system of mammals. The immune system can inspire to form new algorithms learning from its course of action.

A Physical Theory of the Competition that Allows HIV to Escape from the Immune System [PDF]
, 2006 Competition within the immune system may degrade immune control of viral infections. We formalize the evolution that occurs in both HIV-1 and the immune system quasispecies. Inclusion of competition in the immune system leads to a novel balance between the immune response and HIV-1, in which the eventual outcome is HIV-1 escape rather than control. The

Immune Thrombocytopenia as a Consequence of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Case Reports in Oncology, 2017 Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) – also called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura or immune thrombocytopenic purpura – is an acquired thrombocytopenia caused by autoantibodies against platelet antigens.

Mathematical models for vaccination, waning immunity and immune system boosting: a general framework [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 When the body gets infected by a pathogen or receives a vaccine dose, the immune system develops pathogen-specific immunity. Induced immunity decays in time and years after recovery/vaccination the host might become susceptible again. Exposure to the pathogen in the environment boosts the immune system thus prolonging the duration of the protection ...

Towards a Conceptual Framework for Innate Immunity [PDF]
Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Artificial
Immune Systems (ICARIS 2005), Lecture Notes in Computer Science 3627, Banff,
Canada, p 112-125, 2010 Innate immunity now occupies a central role in immunology. However, artificial immune system models have largely been inspired by adaptive not innate immunity. This paper reviews the biological principles and properties of innate immunity and, adopting a conceptual framework, asks how these can be incorporated into artificial models.

Epidemic spreading with immunization rate on complex networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 We investigate the spread of diseases, computer viruses or information on complex networks and also immunization strategies to prevent or control the spread. When an entire population cannot be immunized and the effect of immunization is not perfect, we need the targeted immunization with immunization rate.
